"Don't swear at me, Chloe." Laura points a finger at her, sighing before leaning back against the chair and rubbing at her temples. Never in her life has she ever had a patient such as crude and arrogant as Chloe, but then again, She couldn't blame her. Knowing her story behind those warm brown eyes, she knew full well that Chloe had every right to act the way she does, Laura just sometimes wished that Chloe would be more kind to her is all.
Chloe grumbled under her breath, leaning back against the leather sofa with her arms crossed against her chest as she waited impatiently for Robert to arrive. She just wanted today's session to be over with.
Robert walked in with a brief case in one hand and some sort of an organic drink in the other hand as he glanced down at his shiny dress shoes.
"Chloe, let’s make today a quickie, I have to-" Robert looked up, stopping in mid-sentence as he spotted Laura sitting down with pursed lips and her hands crossed neatly on her lap.
"Hello, Robert." Laura greeted, gesturing to sit next to Chloe. Robert could only nod, wondering why Laura was here at his office as he set his drink and paperwork aside, sitting down next to Chloe.
Once Laura had both Robert's and Chloe's attention, she began speaking much to Robert's horror. Laura questioned why there hadn't been much notes on their sessions and why Chloe's file was basically empty. Robert tried multiple times to muster up an excuse but nothing came out of his parted lips. As much as Chloe despised Robert for what he was doing to her, she didn't want to leave him under the spotless of Laura, she felt the need to help him out.
"Well it's not my fault that I don't want spill my life to a stranger, I Mean what the fuck do you expect me to do, I don't want to fucking be here, so I don't need to fucking talk to him." Chloe spit, making Laura raise her thin eyebrows at the troubled teen.
"You're here because you need help, if you want to talk to Robert, you won't get anywhere and will be in here longer. Is that why there's no notes, Because Chloe refuses to talk to you?" Laura looked over at Robert and he instantly nodded, going along with Chloe's little outrage.
"Yes, she's always stubborn and doesn't say much other than cursing at me. I didn't feel the need to tell you because I thought I could break down her walls and get through her, but I obviously can't, not by myself at least." Robert slightly pouted, Laura believing his lies straight away, knowing what is was like to be cursed at by Chloe.
"Gosh, Chloe, if you want to get out of here faster, you will need to cooperate with Robert otherwise I might as well schedule you for Saturday's also." Laura murmured and Chloe's eyes widened. she didn't want any more sessions with Robert, she was quite sick of having to bend to Robert's standards and let him roughly fuck her, plus Saturday's was basically her only day off of school, she was busy on Sunday because Abbie wanted Chloe to start going to church.
"No, I'm sorry, I'll start cooperating, Just please- Don't make me come in on Saturdays." Chloe was quick to blurt out her words. The way she had pleaded and phrased her words, Laura's suspicion arose once again. She knew that Chloe didn't like the sessions, but the way she said it made it sound like she didn't want to be here because of Robert.
"Alright, just please, try to communicate better with Robert. You don't need a session today, but what I want is to have a chat with you, Chloe." Laura said, mumbling that Robert was allowed to leave. Without another word, Robert grabbed his things and left the office.
"Is that really why there is no notes on you or any recordings of your sessions with Robert?" Laura asked Chloe. Chloe stilled, mentally cussing herself.
"Yes, why wouldn't it be, you think I'm lying?" Chloe scoffed, her nerves jumping around in her body.
"No it's just.. Did Robert ever try to touch you?" Laura asks and Chloe chokes on her own spit, nearly losing her damned mind.
"What?"
"You know, Has Robert ever tried sexually touching you? I need to know if that's the case, Chloe, because if it is-"
"No, God, why would you assume something like that? I mean, he's my therapist for Christ's sake, He's supposed to helping me, not hurting me." Chloe felt this weird feeling at the pit of her stomach, she didn't exactly know why she had defended Robert and had protected his lied from Laura. Chloe could've easily told Laura that Robert was indeed using her sexually, but for some odd reason, Chloe didn't. It sickened her knowing that Robert was hurting her and not helping her like she had mentioned, How could someone ever do this to a person? He was corrupting Chloe and it was just beyond sickening.
"I just, I don't know forget I even mentioned that," Laura sighed, her mind trying to believe Chloe's words but she had this weird feeling about Robert since the day he first met Chloe and they had hugged at the end of the day. Maybe she was just being a bit over protective. She Couldn't much admit this aloud, but she cared for Chloe deeply. She knew what it felt like to be Chloe, she knew of her situations simply because she used to be in that situation herself when she was younger. She just wanted to help and make sure no other girl would have to go through that traumatizing shit in their life.
"You're free to go," Laura dismissed Chloe. Chloe quickly left, swinging her backpack over her shoulder as she fled to the elevator and down to the lobby where Daniel was waiting for her. She figured since they were going to work on the project today and
